“Too bad liberal news media can’t be bothered!”

The fact that the Tallahassee Democrat mentioned that the General Dynamics protests were paid for by FSU “activists” says reporters know all about how the protests are organized and paid for. I think the general attitude of the press is to say, “Don’t look at that man behind the curtain.” The fact that protests are largely paid for and wouldn’t occur without substantial backing from an interest group is okay with them. In their view, it’s the way the world works and it’s okay and normal. It’s when they look at, say, a Tea Party protest and accuse the Right of having it paid for that grinds my tail. Pelosi called the Tea Party, Astroturf. Projection for sure.
